Alright. What do we need to confirm?
Gesture & etiquette
Sit down with the person at eye level to begin this conversation — it is important enough to warrant a seated, unhurried approach. Have the discharge checklist and any printed instructions ready. Speak clearly and slowly for each item. If family will be involved in discharge planning, include them in this conversation if possible.
Discharge preparation conversations require balancing the positive (going home) with the practical (what needs to be organized). 'Ikutsuka kakunin sasete kudasai' (please let me confirm a few things) signals that there are procedural steps while keeping the tone collaborative. Have a discharge checklist to go through together — transportation, follow-up appointments, medication instructions, care contact details.
